Define "school". Under Michigan law, I was educated in a private school: the Vernon-Dunlap School. I can even cite sources that prove the existence of this school and that I went there; however, this particular "school" existed only because that's how the state of Michigan defined homeschooling: as a private school with a religious or philosophical objection to teacher certification. Should we have an article on it?
Yes. The unusualness (is that a word?) of this arrangement means that it would be inherently notable.
Home-schooling in Michigan is not unusual. That they put a "school name" on the books does not make a given home-school notable.

This does bring up the perfectly good point that even if we made a completely inclusionary policy, we'd still have "school like things" (Michigan home school pseudo-schools) which aren't really notable or "schools" by normal standards.
There will have to be a line short of "all things that have any record claiming they may be a school of some sort".
The first place that line seems logically to go, on first inspection, is "Paid teachers".
